Some Feminine PeculIar;ties

When was girl, mothers we're an
object OF veneration to ms, and now, O.
one of the vast army of them. I like to
continue the study of their peculiarit.
of character. Veneration still stands
first on the list of sentiments for them,
but, alasl how many another feeling is
aroused during the study-amazement,
pity, anger, and sometimes disgust.
l remember sitting one day in my
nursery by the crib where my boy lay
mapping, when an intimate friend ap.
peared at the door, and entering sank
into chair.
what is the matter, Mrs. R+?" 1
inquired
"Why, Pet is dead"
your pretty horse?"
Eyes, beautiful animal? It is always
so with me-"
@How do you mean?"
"Why, of course it is my handsomest
horse. 1t was the same with my chill
dren. l lost the beautiful one-the
. others all lived"
1 looked up in astonishment, and
then and there true veneration in the
case resigned its place to amazement
and yet that woman was the mother of
several well-looking, finely-fcrmed d,
healthy children-the ones that would
not die.
Again, one lovely summer day, on the
way to my room at the hotel where I
was BOARDING. passed the bathroom,
the door of which was wide open, there
In the direct draught twixt door and
window stood Bridget, a really good
natured though green" Irish girls
holding baby under the warm-water
faucet.
20 Bridget, you will hurt the baby!"
I exclaimed.
"Nivir hurt Shure I soaps her
first and then rinses her off" excepting
mp swinging motion with the baby all
the time that made me dizzy.
Doesn't she ever cry?"
"Nivir whimper, the darlint"
And no wonder. Her eyes we're
closed, and she looked drawn and white
about the mouth, while the rest of her
body was more than rosy from the
water, that came, of course, warmer
and warmer.
Veneration again took her leave, and
pity reigned instead, for when 1 told
the baby's young mother she was aghast
and only too glad to have Bridget
taught better ways. What I wonder is
how she could, as the children say,
"trust to luck" as to how her baby
should be bathed and lose the pleasure
of giving it bath herself.
Veneration has fled repeatedly from
the presence of disgust when I have
heard the all-too-common sentence: II
trust my nurse implicitly"

one word:

At the sound and the touch he
stirred and moaned aloud:

Her swift glance swept the room and
read its wretchedness. She could see
his past since they had parted-the
reckless, ruinous past that had stretched
him here and left him to his death.
Evil companions and evil ways
Where had he been, to what had he
fallen since that dark morning in the
summer past? And how strangely had
she been guided hither! What might
it all portend? A frivolous friend. q
woman who toiled with needle, a little
lame child! And voice crying all day
long in her ears that Ronald Power was
in distress!
He stirred again and moaned her
name. Was he SO very i'll? Would he
recover? It gave her a terrible pang
to think that he might not. And all at
once she felt hard sobs arising in her
throat.
Yet the darkest night leads to
another dawning.

splendor of the sunrise TRANSPORTED

Give Him q Big Trial.

A Chicago attorney went west in the
fifties and settled in little town in
Oregon. Being the only lawyer there
he was something of wonder, says the
Chicago Tribune, and was regarded
with considerable reverence as the only
man who could make speech. He
was called upon one day to defend a
notorious horse thief, and found court
in session in shanty that was court
room in one end and saloon in the
other. The Judge was miner, and the
jury consisted of half-dozen ranch
men. "Well, boss" said the judge,
"since yer here s'pose we might as
we'll begin. This yer cuss has been
stealin' bosses, haint he, pards?" A
grunt of consent convicted the prisoner,
and he was sentenced to stretch before
the lawyer could say word. The
lawyer finally cut in, demanded for
NAL trial, and, on this being refused,
asked to make plea for the fellows
life. To this the justice said: "Well,
do your talkin' to me, an, boys, you
jes' take this cuss an hist him an I'll
listen to the other one"
The lawyer, not thinking that the
sentence would be executed at once,
pleaded with the judge, who solemnly
heard it all, and finally said: THAT'S
a darnation fine speech, but I'm gettin'
q leetle dry, an I propose we 'journ
court an take q drink, an then see
what the boys have been a-doin'."
They did so, and on going short
distance from the shanty saw the de-
PENDANT dangling in the air and not q
soul in sight, the jury having adjourned
to saloon after serving as execution
ers. sHe's done fur, >" said the court;
"Now you jes' come along with me an
we'll see that cussed ole man, he sent
fur you to do the talkin', an sort O.
break it to him."
The father of the defendant was
found at his shack smoking q pipe, and
the court said: "This is the Teller as
made the speech fur the young 'un.
Gave him send-of."
= "Give me yer hand, pard," said the
old man; $50 yer spoke right up fur the
kid, did yer?"

THE POULTERER.
POULTRY HfHafS.

Hens that are confined in summer must
have green food. It is an easy matter to
pluck few handfuls of green grass each
morning and give to the poultry. But it is
essential, and very few hens will lay with
out . green diet in some form.
When hen goes to setting, then is the
time to call her out, if she be poor speci-
men she will be q nuisance around the
nests, and even if broken up will be dead
loss for some time, as q hen will not
ordinarily begin laying again for two weeks
or more.
The run Of henhouse should be dug up
every morning. Each time the yard is
spaded, sprinkle in pint or more of oats.
grain that escapes biddie will sprout in q
few days and afford the poultry q dessert
of green oats.
Nests in summer time should b filed
with excelsior when easily obtained, not
because it is cooler than hay or grass, but
for the reason that lice are not 50 apt to
bread in it. The excelsior il cleaner and
remains IN position better than most ma
terials. It does not crowd into the cor
ners and leave the middle of the nest
bear.
Young chicks, Of all poultry, cannot b
neglected, They must have lots of care
and attention. Give the little chicks the
dainty morsels left from tbs table, plenty
of milk and water and frequent sprinklings
of buckwheat. Then warm night retreat,
and they will grow like weeds.
Though it il not advisable to disturb
sitting hen unnecessarily, yet it is an easy
task to tell whether or not the eggs are fertile
after the eighth day. If the gem be alive,
the eggs will appear opaque or dark, ex-
cept perhaps q small portion towards the
top. But IL they are not impregnated, the
light will pass through them almost a. II
newly laid.
War against lice and other vermin should
be waged with untiring effort in the hem
house, before the pests really have an OPP
portunity to breed. Itis an easy matter to
keep out the maggot whom one starts soon

Nothing more than general rules can Be

"You may think there's no luck in

town to a Chicago Tribune reporter,
"but here's true story that would seem
to indicate the opposite in one case at
least Years ago when Lizzie Webster
was playing here-it was not long be-
fore she became Mrs. Nunnemacher
and first went to Milwaukee to live
she won the hearts of all the suscepti-
bic young men about town. One in
particular was very much 'goneIo on her,
and when she went away she bore
among her trophies one of the prettiest
little black-and-tan terriers that ever
barked. His mistress priced him highly
and nothing was too good for him.
"A year or so ago Mrs. Nunnemacher
and her husband were travelling for
pleasure in South America. The trip
was concluded at Rio Janeiro, whence
they were to sail for Liverpool Ships
quarters were secured, the baggage
sent aboard, and Mrs. Nunnemacher
was about to install the dog in her
stateroom when the captain of the ves-
sci kicked up row over it.; the lady
declared she wouldn't sail unless she
could have her pet with her, and finally
left the ship in high dudgeon. It was
the luckiest thing ever happened to
her, too. The ship sailed and was
never heard of again. There's luck in
